Evergold Corp. (TSX-V: EVER, WKN: A2PTHZ)
(“
Evergold” or the “
Company”) is
pleased to report that first-ever drilling at the Company’s
road-accessible DEM prospect, located in central B.C., has
concluded on time, under budget and on target for a total of 947
metres drilled in three holes from two pads located 350 metres
apart. Two holes (DEM23-01 & 02) were drilled due east from the
first pad, and a single hole (DEM23-03) was drilled due west from
the second (see Figure 1 plan and Figure 2 section views). Each of
the three holes intercepted variably calcareous fine-grained
sedimentary rocks cut locally by metre-scale porphyritic dykes,
with the host rocks, and locally the dykes, strongly infused over
core lengths of up to 20 metres by cross-cutting sulphide-bearing
veinlets and veins, locally of semi-massive to massive character,
along with associated disseminated sulphides. These intervals are
also encompassed by broader halos of lower-intensity disseminated
and sulphide-bearing veinlets and veins. Sulphide minerals observed
in core include abundant disseminated and vein-hosted arsenopyrite,
pyrite, and pyrrhotite, with lesser but significant sphalerite,
galena, chalcopyrite, and molybdenite. Sulphosalts are also
commonly observed. Core cutting and sampling is underway, with
assaying to follow. Laboratory results are anticipated for early in
the new year.
“Caution is in order until we receive assay
results,” said Kevin Keough, President & CEO. “That said, we
are very happy with what we’ve seen in core from this very limited
first-ever drill program on a new grassroots prospect. Recall that
our target at DEM was a buried porphyry intrusion and associated
vein systems, the latter of which we clearly have drilled in all
three holes, and starting at surface in the first two. The array of
sulphide minerals present, particularly the abundant arsenopyrite,
and the broad system intercepts in all three holes from two widely
separated pads, suggests a potentially large, well-endowed system.
Moreover, the results have demonstrated that the geochemical and
geophysical anomalies can be relied upon for targeting the
drilling. We therefore anticipate that, should laboratory assay
results come back strong, we will be able to systematically build
upon this program with follow-up efforts next year.”
About the DEM Project
The 10,451 hectare DEM property, located in
moderate terrain only 40 kms northwest of Fort St. James in central
B.C., lies toward the south end of the Nation Lakes porphyry camp
and within the Quesnel Terrane, the latter of which hosts large
deposits and long-life mines including the nearby Mount Milligan
(50 kms to the northeast of DEM), and Lorraine deposits, and,
farther south, Mt. Polley, Afton, Copper Mountain, Brenda, and the
Highland Valley deposits (Figure 3). Located central to the DEM
property is the “DEM Halo” prospect, a roughly 4km2 target area
defined by alteration and mineralogy suggestive of the presence of
a porphyry system, by a multi-element soil geochemical signature,
including highs to 2.1 ppm Au, 160 ppm Ag, >10,000 ppm As, and
651 ppm Cu, by compelling high-relief magnetic and IP-chargeability
anomalies, and by the presence of nearby regional scale structures.
Extensive logging in the area and forest service roads provide
drive-on access directly to the DEM prospect. All of these factors,
when combined, are suggestive of excellent discovery potential for
a copper-gold-silver porphyry and related vein systems. Further
details on the DEM prospect may be found on the Company’s website
at www.evergoldcorp.ca/projects/dem-property/ and in a NI 43-101
technical report entitled “Technical Report on the DEM Property”
dated August 30, 2023, posted thereon and on the Company’s issuer
profile at SEDAR+.

About Evergold
Evergold Corp. is a TSX-V listed mineral
exploration company with projects in B.C. and Nevada. The Evergold
team has a track record of success in the junior mining space, most
recently the establishment of GT Gold Corp. in 2016 and the
discovery of the Saddle South epithermal vein and Saddle North
porphyry copper-gold deposits near Iskut B.C., sold to Newmont in
2021 for a fully diluted value of $456 million, representing a
1,136% (12.4 X) return on exploration outlays of $36.9 million.

expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking
statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”,
“anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”,
“will”, or “plan”. Since forward-looking statements are based on
assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very
nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although
these statements are based on information currently available to
the Company, the Company provides no assurance that actual results
will meet management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other
factors involved with forward-looking information could cause
actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking information. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from such forward-looking information
include, but are not limited to failure to identify mineral
resources, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required
governmental, environmental or other project approvals, political
risks, inability to fulfill the duty to accommodate First Nations,
uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing
needed in the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes
in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the
development of projects, capital and operating costs varying
significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the
mineral exploration and development industry, and those risks set
out in the Company’s public documents filed on SEDAR. Although the
Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing
the forward-looking information in this news release are
reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such
information, which only applies as of the date of this news
release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur
in the disclosed time frames or at all. The Company disclaims any
